What color is Behr Durango Blue?
Behr Durango Blue S510-6 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable gray cast, giving it a grounded, weathered appearance rather than a bright nautical look. Its low-to-medium saturation keeps the color restrained on large walls, where it reads as a cool blue-gray with enough depth to define the room. In daylight, the gray influence is likely to be more apparent, while warmer artificial lighting can soften the blue and bring out its slate-like character. Use Durango Blue on bedroom, office, or bathroom walls alongside clean white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft greige textiles. It also has enough weight for cabinetry or an exterior door when paired with lighter stone, off-white siding, or charcoal accents.

LRV of Durango Blue
Durango Blue has an LRV of 12.83% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 12.83%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
